  • grt ... for blast learner ,,,

  • I want to upload a set of sequences, what's the maximum sequences inside the file or the maximum size of the file to be uploaded?

  • @rflejeune Thanks. I downloaded the readme.

  • @OccamsRzzr E-value is the "expectation value". Here's what the NCBI website has to say about it: "(It is) the number of different alignents with scores equivalent to or better than S that are expected to occur in a database search by chance." S is referring to the raw score. You can find out more about it at the NCBI website. Essentially, an e-value works like a p-value, the smaller the better.

  • what is the evalue ? THis is soooo cool .
